Castilian Hall

Castilian Hall from the inside

Castilian Hall is one of the Cuarto area Dorms. Like other Cuarto buildings, Castilian is not located on Campus like other freshman living areas, but is located on Wake Forest Drive close to 8th St..

Castilian has its own Dining Commons (about 30 seconds to a minute away walking) in addition to the nearby Oxford Circle Dining Commons (about a 5 minute walk). Castilian Hall is divided into two halves: Castilian North and Castilian South. Both feature their own pools, spas, and laundry rooms, with the only difference being the proximity of Castilian South to the Dining Commons and its game area. Each carpeted and air-conditioned unit in Castilian is actually a suite with a living room, one or two bathrooms, and anywhere from two to four bedrooms. Each suite can accommodate up to twelve students and the residence hall houses a total of 450 students. The pictures below are from a 3 room suite with 2 doubles and 1 single bedroom in Castilian South.

It's easy to feel like Castilian is really just a big apartment complex, and that's because it used to be one! The University purchased the then-apartment complex off of someone and outfitted it to be a residence hall. You can see photos of the old apartment-style setup in the main area where the Area Service Desk is. Compared to many of the other dorms, Castilian is fairly quiet and could be seen as a good place to get schoolwork done.

At the close of the 2010-2011 school year, Castilian Hall will no longer be used for student housing. Student Housing has decided that necessary renovations are too costly and will instead sell or redevelop the buildings into private housing, according to the strategic plan.
